Pedro Ruiz apparently gave 19-year-old Monalisa Perez a handgun and told her to shoot into a book he was holding in front of his chest. The couple had apparently tested the stunt before attempting it on video. But the book didn't stop the bullet.

Ruiz died at the scene in Minnesota.

Family members say the couple had been trying to get famous on YouTube, and their pranks were escalating.
